    The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable reached end of support on April 12, 2016. After this date, Microsoft stopped providing security updates, bug fixes, and technical support. Applications that depend on the Visual C++ 2005 runtime may still run, but using unsupported libraries poses security risks and compatibility issues therefore we will not be adding this to our catalog. If you still have requirements for this older version you can use our Custom Apps feature.
